Functional and structural analysis of HicA3-HicB3, a novel toxin-antitoxin system of Yersinia pestis.

abstract：:Cell walls of 19 Micromonospora species were analyzed for their components. All the cell walls had xylose and arabinose, but the presence of glucose, galactose, mannose, or rhamnose depended on the strain. Amino acids present in the walls consisted of glycine, glutamic acid, diaminopimelic acid, and alanine, in a mola...
